    I know people who when rewatch some KOs such as Tyson vs Douglas or Lewis vs McCall (or Rahman) or Joshua vs Ruiz they burst out laughing. Who can explain why? Is it the champ who falls down that makes people laugh?
    But I have also noticed that some instead when they rewatch others KOs or KDs like for example that one of Holmes with Shavers they are sorry or even they seem to feel pain. Why?

    The surprise factor. Something that almost nobody expected to happen happened.

    None of them made me laugh.
    I must admit I found the Tszyu v Judah KO funny.

    I can assure you that those I know who laugh the most are the ones who are not casuals. Strange thing.

    Probably because he lowered his guard mocking his opponent who however punished him.

    Giving the 2 examples given in the OP.
    Tyson : Went off the rails, questionable character and odds off 42/1.
    Joshua : Seems to get called a bodybuilding fraud a lot, stopped by a short, out of shape Mexican underdog.

    These are the type reasons why some find a KO/stoppage ‘funny’.
    It’s probably more of a sneer, as in ‘You got was was coming, ya bum !’

    I cant answer the OP question but my favorite is Pettway-Brown. I laugh every time I watch it and partly because of Tyson's commentary.

    I don't laugh when people get hit so hard they loose consciousness. Although when berbick was was doing the moonwalk on ***** street after Tyson knocked him down, well, no, not even then did I laugh!
